Ep. 2054 Let Doctors Speak Freely
The fanatics who have been trying to silence dissident voices have made it so doctors risk losing their licenses if they come down publicly on the unpopular side of a controversial medical topic. My guest today, Dr. Jon Ward, is trying to change that. Sponsor: Skillshare Show notes for Ep. 2054

Ep. 2053 The Drug War Ruins Lives, Part 2,644
Libertarian city council member Cara Schulz left her audience spellbound at a recent meeting during a discussion of chronic pain sufferers. Doctors are having their hands tied and people with unbearable pain can't get the care they need because the authorities pretend they're looking out for drug addicts or would-be drug addicts. None of the arguments for the current system stand up to scrutiny, and Schulz made mincemeat of them in a detailed and devastating presentation. Sponsor: Skillshare Show notes for Ep. 2053

Ep. 2049 Saifedean Ammous and Tom on COVID Rationality, and Being Independent Academics
Saifedean Ammous is a top Austrian economist and an important authority on Bitcoin, and it was my pleasure to make an appearance not long ago on The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean's podcast. We discuss our experiences studying at Columbia University, and the different paths we took in discovering Austrian Economics. We discuss how we became independent academics, operating outside of traditional institutions and how this gave us more freedom of speech and the ability to to reach a larger audience. We also talk about our work promoting rational thinking on masks and coronavirus lockdowns, the influence of "fiat" academics like Dr Fauci, and the various restrictions on speech that we all have to face.
